Best banh mi in Cairns for sure! Friendly folks run it and have made it feel like a little piece of Vietnam. They make delicious coffee too.
Came here with some friends after a work and was so very impressed by it! Some of the best Vietnamese food I have had also lady and guy front of house were so welcoming & friendly! Great place already looking forward to another trip. Crispy pork belly is a must
Service was amazing! The very kind gentleman at the counter was very accomodating, great communication and sense of humour, and overall had very professional service. He checked up on how the meals were going and if we needed anything else too! The pricing is very reasonable and not high at all! I purchased 2 meals and spent around or just under $40. The meals were very delicious—very fresh and tasty. We tried multiple different dishes and all were incredible. Did not disappoint at all! They have a very WIDE range of dishes to pick from their menu. It took awhile trying to pick. The place looked very clean—counter, kitchen view, tables/chairs, and surrounding areas. Very well air conditioned and great music. We when tried a DELICIOUS tea at the end! AMAZING. Love this place!
Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and the food was amazing. I had the Bun Bo Hue or the chilli beef noodle soup and it was lovely. I asked for less spice with mine, but for anyone that likes spice and a bit more, this dish would be perfect for you. Definitely a place I’d recommend!
"Cairns Best Hidden Secret" And everyone drives past this place almost every day. Gonna be our new regular family and friend catch ups. The food is so good with huge portions, super affordable and the staff are amazing. Big shout out to Felicity and the rest of the staff today. So friendly and accommodating and we loved chatting to them. Feels good to find such an awesome place!
SENSATIONAL! Best bahn mi in Cairns easily. Even go as far as best in Qld. Rolls are super crunchy and soft on the inside. Good mixture of vegetables and meat. Staff are amazingly friendly. Didn't just take order and walk away but had a conversation and a joke.
Lunch with friends! I had a positive impression when I previously got takeout bánh mì, so I decided to come for lunch today. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is quite nice. The place is spacious, which is a plus. The food, however, could use a bit more volume, and while I don’t mind reheated dishes, they were a bit too cold, which was a bit disappointing. The taste was neither particularly good nor bad—just okay. I’ll probably visit again!
Saw many positive reviews on this restaurant and decided to give it a try since we are craving rice and Asian food. It was a great move. We really enjoyed the food we had there - the dry vermicelli with marinated beef and lemongrass chicken with rice are both very flavourful and the crispy pork rice is also roasted really well and crispy. All the dishes are in generous serving! There are parking spaces and even though restaurant is crowded - the service is fast so there are ample tables/seats for groups and family. The gentleman at the counter who took our order was really friendly and pity we didn’t take his name and we presumed he must be the boss - noticed we are Singaporean and offered cut chilli (so Singaporean). That’s really attentive service at its best! Thank you!!
